No, no more warranty. :) But good point as it behaves as if the system powers down and within a second powers up again. But in Bios there is only a "Auto Power On" where you can set a time on weekdays/everydays when itself powers up. This is set to disabled. There is no "previous state". I willl open it up and look after the capacitors.
